Section 7.1(b) as of the end of each Fiscal Period, (a) increased by (i) the amount of any unpaid Capital Contributions agreed to be contributed by such Member under Section 3.1, if any, and (ii) an amount
equal to such Member’s allocable share of Minimum Gain as computed on the last day of such Fiscal Period in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, and (b) reduced by the adjustments provided for in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4)-(6). 
 “Adjusted Obligation” shall mean any Obligation the Carrying Value of which
has been adjusted pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(vi) or any Obligation that has a Carrying Value different than its adjusted issue price at the time the Obligation is assumed, or taken subject to, by the Company from a Member in connection
with a contribution to the Company subject to Section 721 of the Code. 
 “Adjusted Property” shall mean any property
the Carrying Value of which has been adjusted pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(vi) or any property that has a Carrying Value different than the adjusted tax basis at the time of a Capital Contribution by a Member. 

“Affiliate” (whether or not capitalized) shall mean, with respect to any Person: (a) any other Person directly or
indirectly owning, controlling or holding power to vote 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of such Person, (b) any other Person 10% or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled or
held with power to vote by such Person, (c) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person, and (d) any officer, director, member, partner or immediate family member of such
Person or any other Person described in subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this paragraph.

 “Capital
Account” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 7.1(b). 
 “Capital Contributions”
shall mean for any Member at the particular time in question the aggregate of the dollar amounts of any cash, or the fair market value (as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board) of any property, contributed to the capital of the

contributed, by such Member to the capital of the Company. 
 “Capital Interest Percentage” means, at any time of
determination and as to any Member, the percentage of the total distributions that would be made to such Member if the assets of the Company were sold for their respective Carrying Values, all liabilities of the Company were paid in accordance with
their terms (limited in the case of non-recourse liabilities to the Carrying Value of the property securing such liabilities), all items of Company Net Profit, Net Loss, income, gain, loss and deduction were allocated to the Members in accordance
with Section 4.4, and the resulting net proceeds were distributed to the Members in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that the Board may determine that the Members’ Capital Interest Percentages should be
determined based upon a hypothetical sale of the assets of the Company for their respective fair market values (instead of Carrying Values) in order to ensure that such percentages correspond to the Members’ “proportionate interests in
partnership capital” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.613A-3(e)(2)(ii). The foregoing definition of Capital Interest Percentage is intended to result in a percentage for each Member that corresponds with the Member’s
“proportionate interest in partnership capital” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.613A-3(e)(2)(ii), and Capital Interest Percentage shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Company from a Member in connection with a contribution to the Company subject to Section 721 of the Code shall be the Gross Liability Value of such Obligation as of the date of such assumption or taking subject to; 

  
 4 








 (c) The Carrying Value of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective fair
market values, as determined by the Board, upon (i) the acquisition of an additional Company Interest by any new or existing Member in exchange for a Capital Contribution that is not de minimis; (ii) the distribution by the Company to a
Member of Company property that is not de minimis as consideration for a Company Interest; (iii) the grant of a Company Interest that is not de minimis consideration for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Company by any
new or existing Member; (iv) the liquidation of the Company as provided in Section 8.2; (v) the acquisition of a Company Interest by any new or existing Member upon the exercise of a noncompensatory warrant or the making of any
Capital Contribution in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s); or (vi) any other event to the extent determined by the Board to be necessary to properly reflect Carrying Values in accordance with the standards
set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), provided that any adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be made as provided in Section 7.1(b)(vi). If any noncompensatory warrants (or similar
interests) are outstanding upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (i) through (vi) above, the Company shall adjust the Carrying Values of its properties in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(1)

by Depreciation and Simulated Depletion taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits, Net Losses and other items allocated pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iv); 

(f) (i) The Carrying Value of each Obligation of the Company shall be adjusted to equal the obligation’s Gross Liability Value at
such times as an adjustment to the Carrying Value of Company assets is made pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof, and (ii) the Carrying Value of any Obligation of the Company that is assumed, or taken subject to, by a Member in connection with
a distribution of property to the Member in a transaction subject to Code Section 731 shall be adjusted immediately prior thereto to equal the Gross Liability Value of such Obligation as of the date it is assumed or taken subject to by such
Member; provided, that any adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be made as provided in Section 7.1(b)(vi); 

(g) If the Carrying Value of an Obligation of the Company has been determined or adjusted pursuant to clauses (b) or (f) hereof, such
Carrying Value shall thereafter be adjusted based on the method adopted under subparagraph (c) of the definition of “Net Profit” or “Net Loss” to determine the extent to which the Carrying Value of such Obligation is treated
as satisfied or otherwise taken into account; and

ARTICLE III 

CAPITALIZATION AND UNITS 

Section 3.1. Capital Contributions of Members. 

(a) As of the date hereof, each Member has contributed, or is deemed to have contributed, Capital Contributions to the Company in the amounts
and on the dates set forth on Exhibit A. No Member shall be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company. 

Section 3.2. Issuances of Additional Securities. 

(a) The Company may not issue additional Company Interests, or classes or series thereof, or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights
relating thereto, or any other type of equity security without the prior written consent of the Board of Managers. 

Section 3.3. Return of Contributions. No interest shall accrue on any contributions to the capital of the Company, and no
Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital contributed by such Member except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. 

Section 3.4. Incentive Interests. 

(a) The following Incentive Units are hereby created and are hereby granted to the Persons and in the respective amounts set forth on
Exhibit A, subject to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.4: 
 (i) 1,000,000 “Tier I
Units,” of which a certain number of such Tier I Units may be granted to Employees after the date of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (the “Tier I Subsequent Units”); and 

(ii) 1,000,000 “Tier II Units,” of which a certain number of such Tier II Units may be granted to Employees after the
date of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (the “Tier II Subsequent Units”). 
 To the extent
not so granted, the remaining Incentive Units are available for future grants by the Board to Employees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company and each Member intend to treat any interest attributable to a holder of Incentive
Units as a separate “profits interest” within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343. In accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Company shall treat a holder of such Incentive Units


  
 15 








 
as the owner of such profits interest from the date it is granted, and shall file its IRS Form 1065, and issue an appropriate Schedule K-1 to such holder
of Incentive Units, allocating to such holder of Incentive Units its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit associated with such profits interest as if it were fully vested. Each such holder of Incentive Units
agrees to take into account such distributive share in computing its federal income tax liability for the entire period during which it holds such profits interest. The undertakings contained in this Section 3.4(a) shall be construed in
accordance with Section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2001-43. The provisions of this Section 3.4(a) shall apply regardless of whether or not the holder of a profits interest files an election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 The Incentive Units are issued in consideration of services rendered and to be
rendered by the holders for the benefit of the Company in their capacities as Employees. To the extent provided for in Treasury Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other Internal Revenue Service guidance issued after the date
hereof, the Tax Matters Member acting on behalf of the Company is hereby specifically authorized and directed to elect a safe harbor implementing the concepts articulated in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43, 2005-1 C.B. 1221, under which the
fair market value of the Incentive Units received by any Member for services (the “Service Interests”) granted after the effective date of such Treasury Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation
value of such Service Interests (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed under Section 8.3(b) with respect to such Service Interests in a Hypothetical Liquidation occurring immediately after the issuance of such
Service Interests and assuming for purposes of such Hypothetical Liquidation that all assets of the Company are sold for their fair market values). If the Company makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, the Company and
each Member will comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to Transfers of the Service Interests while the safe harbor election remains effective. For purposes hereof, “Hypothetical Liquidation” means, as of any date, a
hypothetical liquidation of the Company as of such date, assuming for purposes of any such hypothetical liquidation (i) that a sale of all of the assets of the Company occurs at prices equal to their respective fair market values as of such
date and (ii) the net proceeds of such sale are distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 8.3(b), but only after the payment of all actual Company indebtedness, and any other liabilities related to the Company’s assets,
limited, in the case of the hypothetical payment of non-recourse liabilities, to the collateral securing or otherwise available to satisfy such liabilities. 

(b) The Incentive Units are non-voting and subject to vesting, forfeiture, and termination as follows: 

(i) (A) The Tier I Units held by each Employee (I) shall vest ratably over a three year period following the grant of such Tier I Units to
such Employee, with 1/3rd vesting on the first anniversary of such grant, an additional 1/3rd vesting on the second anniversary of such grant and the remaining 1/3rd vesting on the third anniversary of such grant (with vesting between such
anniversaries occurring pro rata determined by multiplying the number of Incentive Units that would vest on the next annual vesting date by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of full months which have then elapsed since the last vesting
date and a denominator of 12, and rounding to the closest whole number), and (II) shall vest in full (if not previously vested pursuant to clause (I)) upon Tier I Payout and the occurrence of a Fundamental Change. 

  
 16 








 (B) The Tier II Units held by each Employee (I) shall vest ratably over a three year period
following the grant of such Tier II Units to such Employee, with 1/3rd vesting on the first anniversary of such grant, an additional 1/3rd vesting on the second anniversary of such grant and the remaining 1/3rd vesting on the third anniversary of
such grant (with vesting between such anniversaries occurring pro rata determined by multiplying the number of Incentive Units that would vest on the next annual vesting date by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of full months
which have then elapsed since the last vesting date and a denominator of 12, and rounding to the closest whole number), and (II) shall vest in full (if not previously vested pursuant to clause (I)) upon Tier II Payout and the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change. 
 (ii) All Incentive Units that have not yet vested in accordance with the vesting requirements set forth herein and
that are held by a Person who is an Employee will automatically, without any action required of any Person, be forfeited and thereby become null and void, if and when such Person’s status as an Employee is terminated for any reason or without
reason, except as a result of death or disability, and any vested, unforfeited Incentive Units held by such Person shall, upon such termination, remain non-voting and shall not be counted in the determination of a Majority Interest of the Members.
If such Person’s status as an Employee is terminated by reason of death or disability, any Tier I Units or Tier II Units that would have become vested within 12 months of such termination shall automatically vest upon such termination, and the
remainder will automatically, without any action required of any Person, be forfeited and thereby become null and void upon such termination. 

(iii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all Incentive Units held by a Person who is an Employee (regardless of whether vested or
unvested) shall automatically be forfeited and thereby become null and void if and when such Person’s status as an Employee is terminated: 

(A) for “cause,” which shall mean by reason of such holder’s: (I) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere
to, any felony or to any crime or offense causing substantial harm to the Company or its Affiliates or involving acts of theft, fraud, embezzlement, moral turpitude, or similar conduct, (II) repeated intoxication by alcohol or drugs during the
performance of such holder’s duties in a manner that materially and adversely affects the holder’s performance of such duties, (III) malfeasance, in the conduct of such holder’s duties, including, but not limited to,
(1) misuse or diversion of funds of the Company or its Affiliates, (2) embezzlement, or (3) material misrepresentations or concealments on any written reports submitted to the Company or its Affiliates, (IV) material violation of
any provision of the Voting and Transfer Restriction Agreement or (V) material failure to perform the duties of such holder’s employment or service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates, or material failure to follow or comply
with the reasonable and lawful written directives of the Board of Managers or the managers or directors of a Company Affiliate by which such holder is employed or in a service relationship with, in either case after the holder shall have been
informed, in writing, of such material failure and given a period of not less than 60 days to remedy the same; or 

  
 17 








 (B) by such Employee’s resignation or early termination of service relationship by such
Employee (other than as a result of death or disability). 
 (iv) The Company in its sole discretion, taking into account such factors
as it determines from time to time, may issue Tier I Subsequent Units or Tier II Subsequent Units (collectively, “Subsequent Units”). Upon issuance of any Subsequent Units of a given Tier, such Units may, at the election of the
Board, have a benchmark value equal to the fair market value of the assets of the Company, net of debt, on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by the Board, and will be entitled to participate in those distributions allocated to the Units
of that Tier pursuant to Section 4.4(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, only after holders of all the Units that were outstanding on the date of grant (the “Pre-existing Units” and, when referring
solely to Pre-existing Units that are Incentive Units, the “Pre-existing Incentive Units”) have received distributions pursuant to Section 4.4(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, in the aggregate equal
to the benchmark value (such limitation on distributions, the “Benchmark Value Payout”). Holders of Pre-existing Incentive Units of a given Tier will continue to be entitled to receive all of the profit distributions payable with
respect to the Incentive Units of that Tier pursuant to Section 4.4(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, until the applicable Benchmark Value Payout occurs, at which time future distributions will be shared among the
holders of the Pre-existing Incentive Units in that Tier and the holders of Subsequent Units in that Tier pro-rata. 
 (c) If
any Incentive Units are forfeited pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(ii) or Section 3.4(b)(iii), then such forfeited Incentive Units shall be available to be re-granted, as determined by the Board, in the form of newly awarded, newly
issued Incentive Units in the same Tier and in the same amount as the forfeited Incentive Units (any such re-granted Incentive Units, “Re-grant Incentive Units”), subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(i) each Re-grant Incentive Unit in a given Tier may, at the election of the Board, have a benchmark value equal to the fair market
value of the assets of the Company, net of debt, on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by the Board, and will be entitled to participate in distributions made to holders of the Incentive Units of that Tier pursuant to
Section 4.4(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, only after holders of all the Units that were outstanding on the date of such re-grant (the “Pre-grant Units” and, when referring solely to the Pre-grant
Units that are Incentive Units, the “Pre-grant Incentive Units”) have received distributions in the aggregate equal to the benchmark value (such limitation on distributions, the “Benchmark Value Re-grant Payout”);
and 
 (ii) following issuance of such Re-grant Incentive Units in a given Tier, holders of Pre-grant Incentive Units of that Tier
will continue to be entitled to receive all of the distributions payable with respect to the Incentive Units of that Tier pursuant to Section 4.4(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, until the applicable Benchmark Value
Re-grant Payout occurs, at which time future distributions will be shared among the holders of the Pre-grant Incentive Units and the Re-grant Incentive Units in that Tier pro-rata. 

(d) If all of the Incentive Units available hereunder have not been granted to Employees before the earlier of (i) a Fundamental Change,
or (ii) a payout event for the corresponding series of Incentive Units (e.g., a Tier I Payout for Tier I Units), then in such case such available Tier I, Tier II or the applicable Subsequent Units, as the case may be, shall automatically,
without any action required of any Person, be cancelled. The Board shall reflect all changes contemplated by this Section 3.4(d) in an amended Exhibit A. 

  
 18 








 (e) Upon any forfeiture or other termination of Incentive Units and upon any issuance of Re-grant
Incentive Units resulting therefrom, the Company shall amend Exhibit A to reflect such occurrence. In the case of the issuance of Re-grant Incentive Units in lieu of such forfeited Units, the Tier I or II Percentages will not be reduced as a
result of such forfeiture, but appropriate notation shall be made to reflect the issuance of the Re-grant Incentive Units. The Board shall reflect all changes contemplated by this Section 3.4(e) in an amended Exhibit A. 

ARTICLE IV 
 ALLOCATIONS
AND DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 4.1. Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. 

(a) After giving effect to the allocations under Sections 4.2 and 7.1(b)(iv), Net Profits and Net Losses and all related items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for each Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members in such manner as shall cause the Capital Accounts of each Member to equal, as nearly as possible, (i) the amount such Member would receive if
all assets on hand at the end of such year were sold for cash at the Carrying Values of such assets, all liabilities were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited in the case of Member Nonrecourse Debt and Company Nonrecourse
Liabilities to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liabilities), and any remaining or resulting cash was distributed to the Members under Section 4.4(a), minus (ii) an amount equal to such Member’s allocable share of
Minimum Gain as computed immediately prior to the deemed sale described in clause (i) above in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, and minus (iii) the amount any such Member is treated as obligated to contribute to the
Company, computed immediately after the deemed sale described in clause (i) above. 
 (b) The Board shall make the foregoing allocations
as of the last day of each Fiscal Period; provided, however, that if during any Fiscal Period of the Company there is a change in any Member’s Company Interest, the Board shall make the foregoing allocations as of the date of each
such change in a manner which takes into account the varying interests of the Members and in a manner the Board reasonably deems appropriate. 

Section 4.2. Special Allocations. 

(a) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 4.1 to the contrary: 

(i) If during any Fiscal Period of the Company there is a net increase in Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt that gives
rise to Member Nonrecourse Deductions, each Member bearing the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated items of Company deductions and losses for such period (consisting first of cost recovery or depreciation
deductions with respect to property that is 

  
 19 








 
subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt and then, if necessary, a pro-rata portion of the Company’s other items of deductions and losses, with any remainder being treated as an increase in
Minimum Gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt in the subsequent period) equal to such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Deductions, as determined in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. 

(ii) If for any Fiscal Period of the Company there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to Company Nonrecourse Liabilities, each
Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (consisting first of gain recognized from the Transfer of Company property subject to one or more Company Nonrecourse Liabilities and then, if necessary, a pro-rata portion
of the Company’s other items of income and gain, and if necessary, for subsequent periods) equal to such Member’s share of such net decrease (except to the extent such Member’s share of such net decrease is caused by a change in debt
structure with such Member commencing to bear the economic risk of loss as to all or part of any Company Nonrecourse Liability or by such Member contributing capital to the Company that the Company uses to repay a Company Nonrecourse Liability), as
determined in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members as determined by the Board, to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations. 

(iii) If for any Fiscal Period of the Company there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, each Member
bearing the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (consisting first of gain recognized from the Transfer of Company property subject to Member Nonrecourse Debt, and
then, if necessary, a pro-rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain, and if necessary, for subsequent periods) equal to such Member’s share of such net decrease (except to the extent such Member’s share of such net
decrease is caused by a change in debt structure such that the Member Nonrecourse Debt becomes partially or wholly a Company Nonrecourse Liability or by the Company’s use of capital contributed by such Member to repay the Member Nonrecourse
Debt) as determined in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. 
 (b) The Net Losses allocated pursuant to this Article IV to
a Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be allocated to such Member without causing or increasing a deficit balance in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. All Net Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in
this Section 4.2(b) shall be allocated to Members with positive Adjusted Capital Account balances remaining at such time in proportion to such positive balances. 

(c) In the event that a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account, items of Company income and gain shall be allocated to that Member in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance as quickly as possible. 
 (d) In the event that any Member has a deficit balance in its Adjusted
Capital Account at the end of any Allocation Period, such Member shall be allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 4.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its capital account after all other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been tentatively made as if
Section 4.2(c) and this Section 4.2(d) were not in this Agreement. 

  
 20 








 (e) If any holder of Incentive Units forfeits all or a portion of such Units, such holder shall
be allocated items of loss and deduction in the year of such forfeiture in an amount equal to the portion of such holder’s Capital Account attributable to such forfeited Units. 

(f) If, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory warrant, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x). 

(g) The allocations set forth in subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4.2 (collectively, the “Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory
Allocations or with special allocations pursuant to this Section 4.2(g). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board shall make such offsetting special
allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, the net amount of allocations to each Member is, to the extent possible, equal to the amount such Member would have been allocated if the
Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1, the remaining subsections of this Section 4.2 and Section 7.1(b)(iv). 

(h) In the event Units are issued to a Person and the issuance of such Units results in items of income or deduction to the Company, such items
of income or deduction shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to the positive balances in their Capital Accounts immediately before the issuance of such Units. 

Section 4.3. Income Tax Allocations. 

(a) Except as provided in this Section 4.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax
purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for Capital Account purposes under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. 

(b) The deduction for depletion with respect to each separate oil and gas property (as defined in Section 614 of the Internal Revenue
Code) shall, in accordance with Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code, be computed for federal income tax purposes separately by the Members rather than the Company. For purposes of such computations, the U.S. federal income tax
basis of each oil and gas property shall be allocated to each Member in accordance with such Member’s Capital Interest Percentage as of the time such oil and gas property is acquired by the Company (and any additions to such U.S. federal income
tax basis resulting from expenditures required to be capitalized in such basis shall be allocated among the Members in a manner designed to cause the Members’ proportionate shares of such adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis to be in
accordance with their Capital Interest Percentages as 

  
 21 








 
determined at the time of any such additions), and shall be reallocated among the Members in accordance with the Members’ Capital Interest Percentages as determined immediately following the
occurrence of an event giving rise to an adjustment to the Carrying Values of the Company’s oil and gas properties pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Carrying Value. Each Member, with the assistance of the Tax Matters Member,
shall separately keep records of its share of the adjusted tax basis in each separate oil and gas property, adjust such share of the adjusted tax basis for any cost or percentage depletion allowable with respect to such property and use such
adjusted tax basis in the computation of its cost depletion or in the computation of its share of any gain or loss on the Transfer of such property by the Company. Upon the request of the Tax Matters Member, each Member shall advise the Tax Matters
Member of its adjusted tax basis in each separate oil and gas property and any depletion computed with respect thereto, both as computed in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. The Tax Matters Member may rely on such information and,
if it is not provided by the Member, may make such reasonable assumptions as it shall determine with respect thereto 
 (c) Except as
provided in Section 4.3(d), for the purposes of the separate computation of gain or loss by each Member on the Transfer of each separate oil and gas property (as defined in Section 614 of the Internal Revenue Code), the
Company’s allocable share of the “amount realized” (as such term is defined in Section 1001(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from such Transfer shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members as follows: 

(i) first, to the extent such amount realized constitutes a recovery of the Simulated Basis of the property, to the Members in the same
proportion as the depletable basis of such property was allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 4.3(b) (without regard to any special allocation of basis under Section 4.3(d)); and 

(ii) second, the remainder of such amount realized, if any, to the Members so that, to the maximum extent possible, the amount realized that is
allocated to each Member under this Section 4.3(c)(ii) will equal such Member’s share of the Simulated Gain recognized by the Company from such Transfer. 

(d) The Members recognize that (i) with respect to Adjusted Property, there will be a difference between the Carrying Value of such
property at the time of revaluation or contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at that time and (ii) with respect to an Adjusted Obligation, there will be a difference between the Carrying Value of such Obligation at the time
of revaluation or at the time the Obligations is assumed (or taken subject to) contribution and the adjusted issue price of such Obligation at that time. All items of tax depreciation, cost recovery, amortization, adjusted tax basis of depletable
properties, amount realized and gain or loss with respect to any such Adjusted Property or Adjusted Obligation shall be allocated among the Members to take into account the disparities between the Carrying Value and the adjusted tax basis or
adjusted issue price, as the case may be, with respect to such property or Obligation in accordance with the provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations under those sections; provided,
however, that any tax items not required to be allocated under Sections 704(b) or 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code shall be allocated in the same manner as such gain or loss would be allocated for Capital Account purposes under
Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. In making such allocations, the Board shall use such method or methods of allocation as it shall determine, in its absolute discretion, to be reasonable and in accord with the applicable Treasury
Regulations. 

  
 22 








 (e) All recapture of income tax deductions resulting from the Transfer of Company property shall,
to the maximum extent possible, be allocated to the Member to whom the deduction that gave rise to such recapture was allocated hereunder to the extent that such Member is allocated any gain from the Transfer of such property. For this purpose,
deductions that were allocated as a component of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated as if allocated in the same manner as the allocation of the related Net Profit or Net Loss. 

Section 4.4. Distributions. 

(a) The Board may cause the Company to distribute Distributable Funds or other assets at such times and in such amounts as the Board, in its
sole discretion, determines to be appropriate; provided that the aggregate value attributable to any assets other than cash or distributed by the Company shall be valued (i) if a marketable security, based on the 10 day volume weighted average
price of such security prior to the date of such distribution or (ii) if an asset others than cash or a marketable security, as determined by the Board. All such distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be made to
the Members as follows and in the following order of priority: 
 (i) First: to the Members, pro-rata in accordance with their respective
Sharing Ratios, until Tier I Payout, if any, has occurred; 
 (ii) Second: following Tier I Payout, if any, and until the earlier of Tier II
Payout: an amount equal to the Tier I Distribution Amount, multiplied by the Tier I Percentage to the Members holding Tier I Units (allocated among the holders of Tier I Units pro-rata, in accordance with the number of Tier I Units of each holder,
including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and Section 3.4(c)), and the remainder of the Tier I Distribution Amount to the Members (pro-rata, in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios); 

(iii) Third: following Tier II Payout, if any: an amount equal to the Tier II Distribution Amount, multiplied by the Tier II Percentage to the
Members holding Tier II Units (allocated among the holders of Tier II Units pro-rata, in accordance with the number of Tier II Units of each holder, including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and
Section 3.4(c)), and the remainder of the Tier II Distribution Amount to the Members (pro-rata, in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios): 

(b) In addition to distributions made to the Members pursuant to Section 4.4(a), and subject to applicable law, to the extent that
the Board determines that the Company has Distributable Funds, the Board shall cause the Company to pay to the Members within 90 days after the end of each year an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Distributable Funds, or (ii) an
amount equal to the highest marginal federal and applicable state income tax rate for individuals (taking into account the character of the taxable income (e.g., long-term capital gain, qualified dividend income, ordinary income, etc.)) multiplied
by the taxable income of the Company, if any, for such year, such payment to be made among the Members in the same percentages as the taxable income for such year was allocated. Any such payments to a Member under this Section 4.4(b)
shall be deemed to be a draw against such Member’s share of future distributions under Section 4.4(a) and Section 8.3(b), so that such Member’s share of such future distributions shall be reduced by the amounts
previously drawn under this Section 4.4(b) until the aggregate reductions in such distributions equal the aggregate draws made under this Section 4.4(b). 

  
 23 








 (c) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries may withhold from distributions, allocations or
portions thereof if it is required to do so by any applicable rule, regulation or law, and each Member hereby authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of U.S. federal,
state, provincial, local or foreign taxes that the Board determines, in good faith, that the Company or any of its subsidiaries is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this
Agreement. To the extent that any tax is paid by (or withheld from amounts payable to) the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the Board determines, in good faith, that such tax relates to one or more specific Members (including any tax payable
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6225 of the Amended Code with respect to items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit allocable or attributable to such Member), such tax shall be treated as an amount of taxes
withheld or paid with respect to such Member pursuant to this Section 4.4(c). For all purposes under this Agreement, any amounts withheld or paid with respect to a Member pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) shall be treated as
having been distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 4.4(a) at the time such withholding or payment is made. Further, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such withholding or payment for any period exceeds the distributions
to which such Member is entitled for such period, the amount of such excess shall be considered a loan from the Company to such Member, with interest accruing at the primary rate of interest then publicly quoted by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
or, at the request of the Board, the amount of such excess shall be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such withholding is required to be made; provided, however, that any such payment shall not be treated as a Capital
Contribution and shall not reduce the amount that a Member is otherwise obligated to contribute to the Company. Any income from any deemed loan shall not be allocated to or distributed to the Member requiring such loan. Any such loan shall be
satisfied out of distributions to which such Member would otherwise be subsequently entitled until such time as the Board requests that the Member pay such amount to the Company. Each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the
Company a security interest in such Member’s Units to secure such Member’s obligation to pay to the Company any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.4(c). Each Member shall take such actions as the Company may
request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Members and the Board from and against any liability (including any liability for taxes)
with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) any Person who ceases to be a Member shall be treated as a Member for purposes of this
Section 4.4(c) and (ii) the obligations of a Member pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) shall survive indefinitely with respect to any taxes withheld or paid by the Company that relate to the period during which such Person
was actually a Member, regardless of whether such taxes are assessed, withheld or otherwise paid during such period.

may determine. Notice of a meeting shall be served not less than 24 hours before the date and time fixed for such meeting by confirmed facsimile or other written communication or not less than three days prior to such meeting if notice is provided
by overnight delivery service. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Manager who signs a waiver of notice or provides a waiver by electronic transmission or a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof, whether
before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without protesting, either prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such Manager. A special meeting of the Board may be called by any member of the Board. Any member of the
Board may participate in a meeting by conference telephone or similar communications equipment. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if such action is evidenced in writing and signed by all of the
members of the Board. At any meeting of the Board, the presence in person or by telephone or similar electronic communication of Managers representing at least a majority of the Board shall constitute a quorum. 

(c) Each Manager serving on the Board of Managers shall have one vote on any Company matter. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the business of the Company presented at any meeting of the Board of Managers shall be decided by a vote of Managers representing a majority of the entire Board of Managers.

 25 








 Section 5.2. Officers. 

(a) Designation. The Board may, from time to time, designate individuals (who need not be a Manager) to serve as officers of the
Company. The officers may, but need not, include a chief executive officer, a president, a chief operating officer, a chief financial officer, a general counsel and secretary and a chief accounting officer. Any two or more offices may be held by the

his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Board whenever in their judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby. Designation of an officer shall not of itself create any contract rights in favor of such officer. 

(iii) If the office of any officer becomes vacant for any reason, the vacancy may be filled by the Board. 

Section 5.3. Acknowledged and Permitted Activities. 

(a) The Company and the Members recognize that (i) NGP and its Affiliates may own or will own substantial equity interests in other

business of investing in NGP Portfolio Companies, entering into agreements to provide services to such companies or acting as directors or advisors to, or other principals of, such NGP Portfolio Companies, regardless of whether such activities are
in direct or indirect competition with the business or activities of the Company or its subsidiaries, and (II) shall not have any obligation to offer the Company or its subsidiaries any Excluded Business Opportunity, and (B) the Company
and the Members hereby renounce any interest or expectancy in any Excluded Business Opportunity pursued by NGP, its Affiliates, the NGP Representatives or another NGP Portfolio Company and waive any claim that any such business opportunity
constitutes a corporate, partnership or other business opportunity of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

  
 26 








 Section 5.4. Duties and Services of the Board. The Board shall comply in all respects
with the terms of this Agreement. The Board shall be obligated to perform the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Board hereunder only to the extent that funds of the Company are available therefor. During the existence of the Company,
each Manager serving on the Board shall devote such time and effort to the Company’s business as he deems necessary to manage and supervise Company business and affairs in an efficient manner. No Member, in its capacity as a Member, shall have
any fiduciary or other duty to the Company, any other Member or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement other than (i) to the extent required by law, the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair
dealing and (ii) such other contractual obligations as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each Manager serving on the Board, in its capacity as Manager, shall not have any fiduciary or other duty to the Company, any other Member or
any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement other than (i) to the extent required by law, the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (ii) such other contractual obligations as are
expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they modify or eliminate the duties and liabilities of any Member or Manager otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members and Managers
to modify or eliminate to that extent such other duties and liabilities of such Member or Manager to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

Section 5.5. Liability and Indemnification. 

(a) The Company’s officers, the Managers, the Members and their Affiliates, and their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents,
shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or the other Members for any acts or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a breach of the express terms of this Agreement,
and the Company shall indemnify to the maximum extent permitted under the Act and save harmless the Company’s officers, the Managers and the Members and their Affiliates, and their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents
(individually, an “Indemnitee”) from all liabilities for which indemnification is permitted under the Act. Any act or omission performed or omitted by an Indemnitee on advice of legal counsel or an independent consultant who
has been employed or retained by the Company shall be presumed to have been performed or omitted in good faith without gross negligence or willful misconduct. THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL RELIEVE ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE FROM
ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DUTIES, CLAIMS, ACCOUNTS AND CAUSES OF ACTION WHATSOEVER ARISING OR TO ARISE OUT OF ANY ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE BY ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, AND SUCH INDEMNITEE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION FROM ACTS OR OMISSIONS
THAT MAY CONSTITUTE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. 
 (b) The Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted under the Act, pay or reimburse
expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnitee’s appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding involving or affecting the Company at a time when the Indemnitee is not a named defendant or respondent in the
proceeding. 
 (c) The Board shall have the right to require that any contract entered into by the Company provide that the Board shall have
no personal liability for the obligations of the Company thereunder. 

  
 27 








 (d) The indemnification provided by this Section 5.5 shall be in addition to any
other rights to which each Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement or vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a Member or an officer, director, employee or agent of a Member
or as a Person serving at the request of the Company as set forth above and to action in another capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitees; provided that the indemnification provided by this Section 5.5 shall be the primary source of indemnification with respect to the matters addressed herein,
without regard to other potential sources of indemnification, reimbursement or contribution (subject to applicable express provisions of any insurance policy to which the Company is a party) and the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and
releases all right to contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind from NGP or its Affiliates and insurance provided by NGP or its Affiliates to any Indemnitee; and provided, further, no advancement or payment by NGP,
its Affiliates or insurance provided by any of them to an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which an Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and NGP and its Affiliates shall have a right of
contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and each Member agree that NGP, its Affiliates and the insurers they engage to
provide insurance to Indemnitees are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 5.5(d). 
 (e) In no event
may an Indemnitee subject the Members to personal liability by reason of this indemnification provision. 
 (f) An Indemnitee shall not be
denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 5.5 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this
Agreement. 
 Section 5.6. Reimbursement of Members. The Company or its subsidiaries shall pay or reimburse to WIH and NGP all
reasonable direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by such Members in organizing the Company, including legal fees and accounting fees. 

Section 5.7. Insurance. The Company shall acquire and maintain insurance covering such risks and in such amounts as the officers
of the Company shall from time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate. 
 Section 5.8. Tax Elections and
Status. 
 (a) The Board shall make such tax elections on behalf of the Company as it shall deem appropriate in its sole
discretion. Upon request of the Board, each Member shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in connection with the Company’s efforts to elect out of the application of the company-level audit and adjustment rules of the Bipartisan Budget
Act, if applicable. 

  
 28 








 (b) The Members agree to classify the Company as a partnership for income tax purposes.
Therefore, any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, solely for income tax purposes, each of the Members hereby recognizes that the Company, so long as it has at least two Members, shall be subject to all provisions of subchapter K of
Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code and, to the extent permitted by law, any comparable state or local income tax provisions. Neither the Company, any Member, nor any Manager shall file an election to classify the Company as an
association taxable as a corporation for income tax purposes. 
 Section 5.9. Tax Returns. The Company shall deliver necessary
tax information to each Member after the end of each fiscal year of the Company. Not less than 60 days prior to the date (as extended) on which the Company intends to file its federal income tax return or any state income tax return but in any event
no earlier than March 1 of each year, the return proposed by the Board to be filed by the Company shall be furnished to the Members for review; provided, however, that an IRS Schedule K-1 or a good faith estimate of the amounts to be included
on such IRS Schedule K-1 for each Member shall be sent to each Member on or before March 1 of each year. In addition, not more than 10 days after the date on which the Company files its federal income tax return or any state income tax return,
a copy of the return so filed shall be furnished to the Members. 
 Section 5.10. Tax Matters Member. Partnership
Representative.  
 (a) Anthony Bahr shall be designated the tax matters member under Section 6231 of the Internal Revenue
Code (in such capacity, the “Tax Matters Member”). The Tax Matters Member may be removed and replaced by action of a Majority Interest of the Members. The Tax Matters Member is authorized to take such actions and to
execute and file all statements and forms on behalf of the Company which may be permitted or required by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. The Tax Matters Member shall have full and
exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial
proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the Members informed as to the status of any audit of the Company’s tax affairs, and shall take such action as
may be necessary to cause any Member so requesting to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Internal Revenue Code. Without first obtaining the approval of a Majority Interest of the Members, the Tax
Matters Member shall not, with respect to Company tax matters: (i) enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any tax matter which purports to bind Members, (ii) intervene in any action pursuant to Internal Revenue Code
Section 6226(b)(5), (iii) enter into an agreement extending the statute of limitations, or (iv) file a petition pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6226(a) or 6228. If an audit of any of the Company’s tax returns shall
occur, the Tax Matters Member shall not settle or otherwise compromise assertions of the auditing agent which may be adverse to any Member as compared to the position taken on the Company’s tax returns without the prior written consent of each
such affected Member. 
 (b) The Board may appoint and replace a Partnership Representative and authorize the Partnership Representative to
take any and all actions determined by the Board and permissible under Section 6223 of the Amended Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Pursuant to Section 11.2(d), the Board shall have the authority to amend this
Section 5.10 to give effect to the provisions of the Bipartisan Budget Act and any Treasury Regulations or other administrative pronouncements promulgated thereunder and each Member agrees to be bound by the provisions of any such
amendment. 

  
 29 








 Section 5.11. Section 83(b) Election. Each Member who acquires Incentive Units
and who is a United States person within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 7701(a)(30) may file a timely election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) with respect to such Incentive Units and consult with such Member’s
tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of such acquisition and of filing an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b). Each such Member acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility of such Member, and not the Company, to file
the election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) even if such Member requests the Company or its representative to assist in making such filing. In accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, each Member who makes an election
shall promptly provide a copy of such election to the Company. 
 Section 5.12. Subsidiaries of the Company. The Board may
determine to conduct any Company operations indirectly through one or more subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.13. Tax Reimbursement. If
Texas law requires the Company and NGP both to participate in the filing of a Texas franchise tax combined group report, and if NGP or its Affiliates pay the franchise tax liability due in connection with such combined report, the parties agree that
the Company shall promptly reimburse NGP or its Affiliates for the franchise tax paid on behalf of the Company as a combined group member. The franchise tax paid on behalf of the Company shall be equal to the franchise tax that the Company would
have paid if it had computed its franchise tax liability for the report period on a separate entity basis rather than as a member of the combined group. In such event, the parties agree that NGP and its Affiliates shall be considered as paying such
amount on behalf of the Company and the Company shall deduct for federal income tax purposes one hundred percent (100%) of the Texas franchise tax attributable to the Company; provided that in the event that such deduction may not be
properly taken by the Company, the Company shall reimburse NGP and its Affiliates for the after-tax cost of such payment of Texas franchise tax paid on the Company’s behalf. 

ARTICLE VI

Company for each Member as provided below: 
 (i) The Capital Account of each Member shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be increased
by (A) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property contributed to the Company by such Member (net of the Gross Liability Value of any Obligations secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or

to for purposes of Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code if such Obligation were a liability for purposes of Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code) and (E) the Gross Liability Value of any Obligations assumed (or deemed assumed)
by the Company from a Member that would not otherwise be taken into account under Section 7.1(b)(i)(A)). The Capital Accounts shall also be increased or decreased (I) to reflect a revaluation of Company property and Obligations
pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (f) of the definition of Carrying Value and (II) upon the exercise of any noncompensatory warrant pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(4) and

 (ii) Any adjustments of basis of Company property provided for under Sections 734 and 743 of the Internal Revenue
Code and comparable provisions of state law (resulting from an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code or comparable provisions of state law) shall not affect the Capital Accounts of the Members (unless otherwise required by
applicable Treasury Regulations), and the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be debited or credited pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1 as if no such election had been made. 

(iii) Capital Accounts shall be adjusted, in a manner consistent with this Section 7.1, to reflect any adjustments in items of
Company income, gain, loss or deduction (including Simulated Depletion, Simulated Gain and Simulated Loss) that result from amended returns filed by the Company or pursuant to an agreement by the Company with the Internal Revenue Service or a final
court decision. 
 (iv) The allocation of basis prescribed by Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code and provided for in
Section 4.3(b) and each Member’s separately computed depletion deductions shall not reduce such Member’s Capital Account, but such Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by its allocable share of Simulated Depletion.
The Simulated Basis of each oil and gas property shall be allocated to each Member in accordance with such Member’s Capital Interest Percentage as of the time such oil and gas property is acquired by the Company (and any additions to such
Simulated Basis resulting from expenditures required to be capitalized in such Simulated Basis shall be allocated among the Members in a manner designed to cause the Members’ proportionate shares of such Simulated Basis to be in accordance with
their Capital Interest Percentages as determined at the time of any such additions), and shall be reallocated among the Members in accordance with the Members’ Capital Interest Percentages as determined immediately following the occurrence of
an event giving rise to an adjustment to the Carrying Values of the Company’s oil and gas properties pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Carrying Value. Simulated Depletion with respect to each separate oil and gas property shall
be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective shares of the Simulated Basis in the related property. No Member’s Capital Account 

  
 32 








 
shall be decreased, however, by Simulated Depletion deductions attributable to any oil and gas property to the extent such deductions exceed such Member’s allocable share of the
Company’s remaining Simulated Basis in such property. Any Simulated Gain shall be allocated to the Members and shall increase their respective Capital Accounts in the same manner as an equal amount of gain would have been allocated pursuant to
Section 4.1. Any Simulated Loss shall be allocated to the Members and shall reduce their respective Capital Accounts in the same percentages as the basis of the property sold was allocated up to an amount equal to each Member’s
share of the Company’s Simulated Basis in such property at the time of such sale. 
 (v) It is the intention of the Members that the
Capital Accounts of each Member be kept in the manner required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). To the extent any additional adjustment to the Capital Accounts is required by such regulation, the Board is hereby authorized
to make such adjustment after notice to the Members. 
 (vi) In accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), upon a Member’s contribution to the Company of cash or properties in exchange for a Company Interest, the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Values of all Company properties and Obligations
shall, immediately prior to such issuance, be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to the Company properties and Obligations, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized
immediately prior to such contribution and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. 

(vii) Any Person who acquires a Company Interest directly from a Member, or whose Company Interest shall be increased by means of a Transfer to
it of all or part of the Company Interest of another Member, shall have a Capital Account (including a credit for all Capital Contributions made by such Member Transferring such Company Interest) which includes the Capital Account balance of the
Company Interest or portion thereof so acquired or Transferred. 
 Section 7.2. Bank Accounts. The Board shall cause one or more
Company accounts to be maintained in a bank (or banks) which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or some other financial institution, which accounts shall be used for the payment of the expenditures incurred by the Company in

requested from time to time by such Members and any such other reports and financial information as the Board shall determine from time to time, including periodic consolidated financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries (including

 Section 7.4. Meetings of Members. The Board may hold meetings of the Members from
time to time to inform and consult with the Members concerning the Company’s assets and such other matters as the Board deems appropriate, provided that nothing in this Section 7.4 shall require the Board to hold any such
meetings. Such meetings shall be held at such times and places, as often and in such manner as shall be determined by the Board. The Board at its election may separately inform and consult with the Members for the above purposes without the
necessity of calling and/or holding a meeting of the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, the Members shall not be permitted to take part in the business or control of the business of the Company; it
being the intention of the parties that the involvement of the Members as contemplated in this Section 7.4 is for the purpose of informing the Members with respect to various Company matters, explaining any information furnished to the
Members in connection therewith, answering any questions the Members may have with respect thereto and receiving any ideas or suggestions the Members may have with respect thereto; it being the further intention of the parties that the Board shall
have full and exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to acquire, manage, control and administer the assets, business and affairs of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 and the other applicable provisions of this
Agreement. 
 Section 7.5. Confidentiality. No Member shall use, publish, disseminate or otherwise disclose, directly or

the Board, or as required by law or governmental or regulatory authority. Each Member shall instruct all Affiliates (including their representatives, agents and counsel) to comply with this Section 7.5. If a Member is required by law or
court order to disclose information that would otherwise be Confidential Information under this Agreement, such Member shall immediately notify the Company of such notice and provide the Company the opportunity to resist such disclosure by
appropriate proceedings. The terms of this Section 7.5 shall survive with respect to each Member until the earlier to occur of (a) the date following one year from the date of the liquidation of the Company and (b) the date
following two years from the date of termination or Transfer of such Member’s Company Interest. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 

Section 8.1. Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following: 

(a) The seventh anniversary of the date of this Agreement; 

(b) The sale, disposition or termination of all or substantially all of the property then owned by the Company; or 

  
 34 








 (c) The consent in writing of the Board of Managers. 

Section 8.2. Winding Down. From and after the sixth anniversary of the Company’s formation, unless the Capital Members
otherwise mutually agree or unless the Company has previously been dissolved, the Members shall cooperate in the marketing and sale of all or substantially all of the assets or outstanding Company Interests, or any other similar transaction to
potentially interested third parties, such that the Company can be formally liquidated prior to the end of its stated term. 

Section 8.3. Liquidation and Termination. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board or, if the Board so desires, a Person
selected by the Board, shall act as liquidator or shall appoint one or more liquidators who shall have full authority to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distribution as provided herein. The liquidator shall continue to operate the
Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Board. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows: 
 (a) As
promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator, if requested by any Member, shall cause a proper accounting to be made by the Company’s independent accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities
and operations through the last day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as appropriate. 

(b) The liquidator shall pay all of the debts and liabilities of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make
adequate provision therefor (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine). After making payment or provision for all debts and liabilities
of the Company, the liquidator shall sell all properties and assets of the Company for cash as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the best price therefor; provided, however, that upon the consent of a Majority Interest of the
Members, the liquidator may distribute such properties in kind. All Net Profit, Net Loss, Simulated Gain and Simulated Loss (or other items of income, gain loss or deduction allocable under Section 4.2) realized on such sales shall be
allocated to the Members as provided in this Agreement, and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted accordingly. In the event of a distribution of properties in kind, the liquidator shall first adjust the Capital Accounts of the
Members by the amount of any Net Profit, Net Loss, Simulated Gain and Simulated Loss (or other items of income, gain loss or deduction allocable under Section 4.2) that would have been recognized by the Members if such properties had
been sold at then fair market values. The liquidator shall then distribute the proceeds of such sales or such properties to the Members in the manner provided in Section 4.4(a). If the foregoing distributions to the Members do not equal
the Member’s respective positive Capital Account balances as determined after giving effect to the foregoing adjustments and to all adjustments attributable to allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss, Simulated Gain and Simulated Loss realized by
the Company during the taxable year in question and all adjustments attributable to contributions and distributions of money and property effected prior to such distribution, then, the allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss, Simulated Gain and
Simulated Loss provided for in this Agreement shall be adjusted, to the least extent necessary, to produce a Capital Account balance for each Member which corresponds to the amount of the distribution to such Member. Each Member shall have the right
to designate another Person to receive any property which otherwise would be distributed in kind to that Member pursuant to this Section 8.3. 

  
 35 








 (c) Except as expressly provided herein, the liquidator shall comply with any applicable
requirements of the Act and all other applicable laws pertaining to the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the final distribution of its assets. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member shall be obligated to restore a deficit balance in its Capital
Account at any time. 
 The distribution of cash and/or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.3 shall constitute a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Members of their Company Interest and all Company property. 

 
 ARTICLE IX 

ASSIGNMENTS OF COMPANY INTERESTS 

Section 9.1. Assignments of Company Interests. 

(a) No Member’s Company Interest or rights therein shall be Transferred, or made subject to an Indirect Transfer, in whole or in part,
without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, however, that any Member may assign its Company Interest without obtaining such consent pursuant to (i) an Excluded Affiliate Transfer or (ii) a Transfer that is
otherwise permitted pursuant to the Voting and Transfer Restriction Agreement. Any attempt by a Member to assign its Company Interest in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be void ab initio. If an interest in a Unit or other
Company Interest is required by law to be Transferred to a spouse of a holder thereof pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction in a divorce proceeding (notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1(a)),
then such holder shall nevertheless retain all rights with respect to such interest and any interest of such spouse shall be subject to such rights of such holder. In addition, if it is determined that the holder will be required to pay any taxes
attributable to such interest of the spouse in the Company, then any tax liability of such holder that is attributable to such spouse’s interest shall be taken into account, and shall reduce such spouse’s interest in the Company; in no
event shall the Company be required to provide any financial, valuation or other information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective assets to the spouse or former spouse of such holder. 

(b) Unless an assignee of a Company Interest becomes a substituted Member in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such assignee
shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder, other than the right to receive allocations of income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and similar items and distributions to which the assignor would otherwise be
entitled, to the extent such items are assigned. 
 (c) An assignee of a Company Interest shall become a substituted Member entitled to all
of the rights of a Member if, and only if, (i) the assignor gives the assignee such right, (ii) the Board consents in writing to such substitution, the granting or denying of which shall be in the


  
 36 








 
Board’s sole discretion, (iii) the assignee executes and delivers such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, as the Board may deem necessary or desirable to
effect such substitution and to confirm the agreement of the assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (iv) if the Board so requires, the assignee reimburses the Company for any costs incurred by the Company
in connection with such assignment and substitution. Upon the satisfaction of such requirements, such assignee shall be admitted as of such date as shall be provided for in any document evidencing such assignment as a substituted Member of the
Company. 
 (d) The Company and the Board shall be entitled to treat the record Member of any Company Interest as the absolute Member thereof
in all respects and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such Member until such time as a written assignment of such Company Interest that complies with the terms of this Agreement has been
received by the Board.

 Section 11.9. Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the
Company, including claims sounding in contract, tort, statutory or otherwise (a “Dispute”), shall be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration in accordance with this Section 11.9. 

(a) Rules and Procedures. Such arbitration shall be administered by JAMS/Endispute, Inc., a Delaware corporation and national dispute
resolution company (“JAMS”), pursuant to (i) the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if the amount in controversy is $250,000 or less, or (ii) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if the
amount in controversy exceeds $250,000 (each, as applicable, the “Rules”). The making, validity, construction, and interpretation of this Section 11.9, and all procedural aspects of the


  
 41 








 
arbitration conducted pursuant hereto, shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). For purposes of this Section 11.9, “amount in controversy” means the stated amount of the
claim, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, plus the stated amount of any counterclaim, not including interest or attorneys’ fees. If the claim or counterclaim seeks a form of relief other than damages, such as injunctive or
declaratory relief, it shall be treated as if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, unless all parties to the Dispute otherwise agree. 

(b) Discovery. Discovery shall be allowed only to the extent permitted by the Rules. 

(c) Time and Place. All arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas or such other location as all parties to
the Dispute may agree. Unless good cause is shown or all parties to the Dispute otherwise agree, the hearing on the merits shall be conducted within 180 days of the initiation of the arbitration, if the arbitration is being conducted under the
Streamlined Arbitration Rules, or within 270 days of the initiation of the arbitration, if the arbitration is being conducted under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. However, it shall not be a basis to challenge the outcome or result of the
arbitration proceeding that it was not conducted within the specified timeframe, nor shall the failure to conduct the hearing within the specified timeframe in any way waive the right to arbitration as provided for herein. 

(d) Arbitrators. 
 (i) If
the amount in controversy is $250,000 or less, the arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator selected by JAMS in accordance with the Rules. 

(ii) If the amount in controversy is more than $250,000, the arbitration shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, selected in accordance
with this paragraph. The party initiating the arbitration shall designate, with its initial filing, its choice of arbitrator. Within 30 days of the notice of initiation of the arbitration procedure, the opposing party to the Dispute shall select one
arbitrator. If any party to the Dispute shall fail to select an arbitrator within the required time, JAMS shall appoint an arbitrator for that party. In the event that the Dispute involves three or more parties, JAMS shall determine the
parties’ alignment pursuant to Rule 15 and each “side” shall have the right to appoint one arbitrator as provided above. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, failing agreement on which, the third arbitrator
shall be selected in accordance with JAMS Rule 15. Notwithstanding that each party may select an arbitrator, all arbitrators (whether selected by the parties, JAMS or otherwise) shall be independent and shall disclose any relationship that he or she
may have with any party to the Dispute at the time of their respective appointment. All arbitrators shall be subject to challenge for cause under JAMS Rule 15. In the event that any party-selected arbitrator is struck for cause, JAMS shall appoint
the replacement arbitrator. 
 (e) Waiver of Certain Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company and the Members expressly agree that the arbitrators shall have absolutely no authority to award consequential, incidental, special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages of any type under any circumstances regardless of whether such
damages may be available under Delaware law, or any other laws, or under the Federal Arbitration Act or the Rules, unless such damages are a part of a third party claim for which a Member is entitled to indemnification hereunder. 

  
 42 








 (f) Limitations on Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have authority to interpret and
